Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0844029A2] In addition to the identification code provided for identification of letters, etc., at least one additional characteristic is determined by measurement and/or scanning. Statistical investigations are made of the quality of letters, etc., their characteristics and the frequency of occurrence to allow selection of the additional characteristics. Only characteristics which can be subdivided into sufficiently different classes for the required period are used for identification.Preferred additional characteristics include a physical characteristic, names and/or addresses, or processing information.
